I wonder what driver this person was using. The new driver 461.09 therm. caps quicker (honestly I prefer this than getting a higher hash rate and the card/pads failing). Could the older higher limit be cooking sub-par thermal pads?
'Occasional Thermal Throttling would show in HWInfo' - How occasionally? Either way this person was running the memory right at the limit. I run my fans 10% over the thermal cap for this reason i.e + 1200mem / 70% fan / 120 hash --> I could run this at 60% fan but run 70% - I never ever thermal cap any more. For the first 3 days I was continuously thermal throttling and the backplate was so hot I could not touch it for more than a second. This goes back to possibly cooking the sub par pads.
I'm starting to think the 'perf cap therm throttle' is a warning of severe accelerated failure. It's like running a vega hotspot 105-110 degrees, it can do it for a while but you really want to sort that out quickly.
I've been mining 24/7 since the 5th of Jan so I would have seen this by now. However, I doubt these pads will last more than a year.
Could also be factory lottery, some are better than others.
